Jury nullification doesn't set legal precedent. It might lead to judicial findings/decisions that create precedent, but it isn't a legal ruling.
It might influence future juries and enough juries doing the same can have a de facto effect on the law because prosecutors change their decisions about what cases to pursue and how to go about it.
